Default MS Data Dash ND infotainment style

Saw that lots of people do megasquirt dashes. Didn't want to cover up my OEM dash, but I still wanted the data out of the MS. Given the time that quarantine has given me, I had some time to put something together! See pics below. Designed so that from my point of view (Sparco Evo II, 5'10") it is just below my sightline looking down the hood. Does not obstruct anything for me. 3D printed then mounted with a combination of dual- lock and a tab that I designed into it that sits within the crease between the two dash pieces. I am still refining, but definitely planning to post the .STL for anyone to use. Let me know if you have any suggestions!

Consider adding a shroud angled towards you to help eliminate glare when the roof's down, most tablets are hard to read in sunlight.
Consider making the shroud an add-on so that you can have shrouds of different depths depending on how much sun is out.

Seems like a good idea, just need to refine it some more. Good work so far- definitely something I could see myself being interested in doing in the future.

Totally off-topic, but what are you doing for audio? I see the "Kicker" controls and I know they have a bluetooth amplifier type deal.
